You know those guys you see at the baseball game who spend the whole time head-down in their smartphones? Here's a bit of karmic retribution from the baseball gods.

This gentleman says he was checking in on Facebook at a recent game between the Reds and Padres when he didn't notice a foul ball headed his way until it drilled him in the chest. Luckily he wasn't seriously hurt, and keeps a good attitude about it in an interview with a ballpark reporter. Check out the video above for a cautionary tale and consider it a public service message courtesy of Mashable and Major League Baseball.
